Kevin Smith has announced at the Power-Con convention that he will be creating an anime series of “He-Man” for Netflix. The project will also be made in conjunction with Mattel.
It will be titled “Masters of the Universe: Revelation,” and will take place in the Mattel toy inspired world and will focus on some of the unresolved storylines of the classic ‘80s show
Smith said about the series:
“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe. In ‘Revelation,’ we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor! Brought to life with the most metal character designs Powerhouse Animation can contain in the frame, this is the Masters of the Universe story you always wanted to see as a kid!”
The Vice-President of Mattel Television, Rob David, added:
“’Masters of the Universe’ has been a cultural phenomenon for generations, inspiring fans to discover their own power within. Fans of this franchise have been waiting for the continuation of these characters, and Kevin Smith, as a ‘Masters’ superfan himself, is the perfect champion and partner to expand the canon through a dynamic animated series on Netflix.”
